In a game that lasted four hours and is certain to go down as one of the most dramatic in NBA history, the Chicago Bulls staved off elimination with a 128-127 triple-overtime win over the Celtics in Game 6 on Thursday night at the United Center in Chicago. Ray Allen scored a playoff-career high 51 points in the loss, which forces Game 7 Saturday night at TD Banknorth Garden. Rajon Rondo had a potential game-winning jumper blocked by Derrick Rose in the last 10 seconds and then missed a desperation heave from 40 feet at the buzzer. Paul Pierce, Kendrick Perkins and Glen Davis all fouled out for the Celtics. For complete coverage, visit the Green Street[1] blog.
